Although he doesn't know it, there are seven Asians who have migrated to the United States and know Powell's secret.

To that end, he calls on Jack Reed, a former soldier, to eliminate his problems.As Reed begins to eliminate those who know Powell's secret, he teams up with an FBI agent and one of the people he is supposed to eliminate. Instead of eliminating them, he now is protecting them. From conflicting emotions about how they feel about each other to deciding how to stop Powell's campaign, this group of three risk everything, even their own lives, to put a stop to Powell's candidacy.From California to the nation's capital, Reed and those he is now protecting try to stay one step ahead of those who would eliminate them.
